Statement on the Atonement

God seeks in his holy love to save all people from sin. He also judges all people by his righteous will as declared in the Scripture. In Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Lord, fully God and fully man, he has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to himself. The salvation of lost and sinful human beings takes place through the shed blood of Jesus, by faith alone and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
